Switch on the Holidays

Celebrate the lighting of the trees in Brandenburg Park with Christmas carols, then warm up with hot cocoa and cookies, and of course a visit with Santa – the Jolly Ol’ Elf himself.

Gather in Brandenburg Park as we welcome the Christmas season with an evening of music, lights, and festive fun for the whole family. The celebration begins with community Christmas caroling at 6:30 p.m., filling the park with classic holiday songs before the countdown to the annual tree lighting at 7:00 p.m. Watch as the park comes to life with thousands of twinkling lights, creating a magical setting to kick off the season. Be sure to visit Santa Claus, share your holiday wishes, and enjoy complimentary festive treats while spending time with family, friends, and neighbors. Whether you're starting a new holiday tradition or returning year after year, Switch on the Holidays is a wonderful way to celebrate the spirit of the season and experience the warmth of Christmas in Red River.
